This Roblox Physics Update Could Ruin Obbies 

I know about the hipheight thing, there is nothing I can do though because the video is already posted. So just note that this video isn’t very accurate to the new character controller, and the beta feature also isn’t available anymore

Everybody's like "oh nooo obbying is ruined", but I highly doubt Roblox would implement the physics update in it's current state. If they did, it wouldn't only ruin obbies. People would have to make their own physics engine. We all know Roblox sometimes makes bad decisions, but this would be going too far. Let's just hope the actual physics update doesn't mess up obbies.

if roblox is gonna change the laws of physics then i'll just have to become a felon of physics. 😎😎😎

After watching this, I think Roblox‘ goal was to implement more ragdoll into the character physics, but failed miserably.

I'd like to see someone implement some of the physics shown here in an obby, mostly the glitches. Imagine having normal roblox physics and being able to do these glitches in obbies. The potential for extreme difficulty and creativity is insane

Somehow, these physics are even jankier than the physics they had sixteen years ago back in 2006. How they devolved this terribly is unknown to me

i love how the most SIMPLE objects manage to send you flying. you could be stepping on a transparent rectangle and than Roblox manages to mercilessly fling you into the skyrooms and than combo you with an epileptic seizure about 2.4 seconds afterwards.

NOTE: The new physics engine is currently in beta, I’m sure they’ll fix it for R6 users because if not then that just makes the majority of players not able to play, and they’ll lose tons of money. They always fix bugs for Beta features, this is just a feature that devs can give feedback on.

These new physics are indeed so realistic! I love it when I glide against a upright wall face first into, and especially that part where you jump thousands of kilometers to noclip into the Backrooms!

I'm gonna be in the mega minority here but this actually looks really promising. If they're able to iron out a lot of these kinks, it would resemble the old ROBLOX physics from around 2007 to the early 2010's. I see a lot of potential here.

3:23 - You jumped more than 20,000,000,000 studs and exited the Roblox safe limit.

when the beta release came out i was so excited on being able to jump in cars and stuff without being thrown off (it was possible on the gravity controller but, you know not every game has that) so as long as this is fixed too, im really hyped about it

Who would have imagined that roblox physics could get even worse somehow

Ye, it's not in a good state currently. I think you might be able to fix the leg thing by going into properties of the StarterHumanoid and setting the HipHeight. Also, the new physics are 'supposed' to improve rotating trusses and moving platform by making the character move with them and maintain their momentum. Unfortunately, this does not work very well. Hopefully, they'll fix some of these issues by the time its out of BETA.

A sphere touching the ground sends you flying out past the Floating Point.

I actually got a good obby idea. I do not know if this is a bug or not, but when jumping on a high-angled slope, the character kind of "slides" up the part, going inside the gap of a big cylinder and a half-sized one, it can fling you far. (also apparently walking into a wall ragdolls you.)

AFAIK, in the usual Roblox physics engine, humanoid characters are given special properties so they stay upright, and only very strong forces are capable of knocking them into a ragdolled state, and have unique air movement that causes them to slow down rapidly with horizontal movement. On top of that, they also use a different form of movement when walking not entirely dependent on physics, I still don't entirely understand how it works but it's still there. The new engine appears to be lacking these most, but not _all_ of these special exceptions, causing R6 to behave very strangely since characters aren't supposed to have mostly-standard brick physics.

I could legit see Roblox implementing this without being fixed for r6 considering their recent track record. If they want to phase out r6, and force people to use rthro, then having a physics update that’s broken for r6 might convert a majority of people to rthro or more realistically r15. People wouldn’t leave Roblox just based off of avatar package physics.

2:45 bro just got sent to heaven

the music choice is the cherry on the top

2:04 it is a fe2 moment indeed!

At that point, you could just make a cool playground with many stuff to goof around with. I might probably try it. Suddenly, 2 months later I get a notification that someone liked my comment, and I realized I completely forgot I even wrote this.

This is just an update to the character controller itself, not how roblox handles physics. The issue with the legs is because of one of the properties of the running state being set to 0, which is like having your HipHeight set to 0 for r15 characters. Also yeah, I do hate this new character controller as it feels very weird to use. There will be lots of bugs, and I'm sure that roblox will allow you to toggle between this option when it goes live.

2:42 That jump spam charged you with kinetic energy, which you released in that high jump

i think this would add more possible ways of making obsactles like that sliding on the wall one, depending on how the game is

i love these "realistic" physics, they're amazing (and amazingly broken)

this could make for like obbies with some extra hard wraparounds where you have to hug the wall and climb across it at the right angle without falling or make for a way to do very long jump distances which normally wouldn't be possible with regular roblox physics

0:38 this jump looks like old roblox physics

i love that climbing on the side of ice just breaks the concept of reality itself with this new beta physics "upgrade"

seems like they going to plan to make it more realisttic. but it would be good if they added a feature in studio so u can have the old physics for ur game, else it would ruin old obbies. but i am actually exited to see new obbies using the new physics! they are like cyberepunk. lots of bugs, but if they get fixed, itll get great!

I could honestly see some pretty good obby come out that are based off with these mechanics. This would be sick!

1:34 reminds me of the really old physics but could only slide along walls for a few seconds

Those physics really had to come, its so refreshing to get physics update, this one looks more old-school, like back in the days you could bounce off surfaces too.

Physics update in a nutshell: - Every part has 2 studs of concrete layered in the top face - Player no longer has friction - Chance of entering subsimulation area increased by 4800% - Random chance of sticking to surfaces, followed by random chance to be paralysed

The sliding on walls thing is actually pretty cool and would be an interesting thing in an obby but everything else is just kinda broken

3:33 mario jumps on goomba and goomba dies

roblox has said this will replace the current character controller however they also said they'd make sure to replicate its usual behavior, however they're not going to replicate every single little bug. they are aware of how buggy this beta is and that obbies utilize engine glitches and they said they will try to keep those intact.

remember, this is just beta, we need to hope that it doesnt actually destroy them

2:07 truly a flood escape moment

Hey Jrode, Thanks for finding this! I also found out if you get flinged by moving platfrom the game will crash LOL

3:18 legit looked like something speedrunners do 😂

I wouldn’t mind a physics update but maybe have the option to turn it off for some games or automatically off until a game decides to update with physics

its just old roblox physics from 2005-2013 or smth, would be cool if they fixed most of the stuff and kept the flinging and soft landing (when you land, you sink into the ground a little)

first half just looks like an average gorilla tag physics like some wall run, arm jumps and slides lol

3:27 POV : You're playing roblox in a school computer and It starts breaking down.

If this us a optional feature and gets polished alot more I would enjoy seeing new unique obbies that feature it, it looks good except for the major bugs

bro did an ultrakill slam storage at 3:05

Wow that is actually funny and you can experiment with it but at the same time, this is concerning :0

That actually happened to NPC's are becoming smart

Now, if you step on a rectangle, roblox physics will sent you flinging into Phoenix A, and then softlock you there

3:22 jrode does the fling

i dont see why this would be added to any normal obby but i can see this as like an obby challenge like how people made a no jump obby

If the physics get changed like this, then obbyists could quit for good and will be mad at roblox.

It would be nice if roblox would stop updating factors of their game, and actually focus on the community more than censoring chat again.

I'm pretty sure this will be *optional* feature, because right now it is quite buggy and it's no wonder it's in beta, but even if it goes out of beta, It would still likely to be optional.

I have a feeling its to adapt r15 and r6 into the same avatar model, thats likely what they meant in the super infamous r6 removal post. (Making roblox avatar limbs contort and bend with the mesh update)

Truly a breakable physics of all time

i would love them to add truss that you can climb sideways and upside down, I mean it works just like monkey bars

2:44 and she was a fairy 🧚‍♀️

This reminds me of the time when you got flung when you hit a wall when going up a truss/ladder

I would actually want to see somebody make an obby implementing these physics just imagine how hard it would be or how goofy or the speed run strat people could come up with using these physics but let’s hope this isn’t permanent but it’s cool

great now roblox physics will think i am even fatter now

1:53 the Jrode fling

2:07 Flood Escape 2 Jadderjump Moment.

0:44 FALCON KICK

roblox studio just closed itself and i am terrified

0:31 because you didnt set StarterHumanoid's HipHeight property to 2

2:35 roblox added a feature to strobe your screen and try to give you a seizure

I feel Like an actual obby could be centred around this mechanic.

*Oh believe me, it's just as buggy with R15. I can't enter doorways without being sent to the stratosphere like a fidget spinner*

I'd unitonically kinda like to see an obby with these phisics, as a gimmick they look kinda fun lol

Totally such a good new roblox physics you can just start ascending because a wall

Depending on how much stays, obbies could also get a lot better

2:48 - this is called a vertical speed conserve

I think the main reason why the physics behave like this is because they didnt make them with R6 in mins but rather the new unified R6/16 hybrid they been talking about for a while. It may actually be the entire reason behind the update. Also all of this is Beta so they definetly will fix most of the bugs.

I love how roblox keeps messing up their game any way possible.

At this point I thought any physics update would be an improvement to the awful physics currently in the game. Wow, how wrong I was.

i feel like even in it's last state this fix thing controler will be super glitchy and the glitching comunity will find a blast out of it (also you will probably now do longjumps by doing it on an edge or smth)

Imagine joining a game and seeing every building destroyed down and people being flung away

Ruin obbies? This will ruin everything. It is broken as heck lol.

doubt this will happen cause even if it does get dropped noone will like it and if they don't fix it then jtoh players gonna be very angy so then they gonna quit and so will other R6 users, and maybe when they patch, corner clips will be back anyway fingers crossed

They should need to update it to a extremely realistic physics and need to reduce mb of the application by using land generating and it will still generate if you teleport and needs to fix map loading in rp games because players keep falling into the void and roblox needs to speed up asset texture sounds animation loading very very fast.

if roblox is changing physics everything will be easy- *the jtoh community going to erase skips:*

The rubbing against the wall looks like speed run 4 when you fall off and try to get back up by running and rubbing yourself in the wall XD

im gonna make a tower that ultilizes this lol

bro roblox actually add Indian physics 💀💀💀

1:01 Sick, wallrunning

3:30 it literally threw the player billions of studs to the 32 bit integer limit 💀

fun fact if the screen starts flashing black that means you went past 340.2823 duodecillion studs away from your starter pos that is roblox's limit

2:25 not very TRUSSworthy.

1:27 sync

If you can’t beat the physics, Be the physics

Hopefully there’s an option in studio to revert to the old physics engine

oooh i could see wall running being a possibility with that slowed down wall fall

there might be a legacy physics option (like legacy materials can be used materials when the value that makes it use new materials is set to false) so games that can't work with new physics won't be broken this could make some abandoned games less playable but it won't break them all also they might fix the physics or at least make hip height set properly edit: I thought of a better solution it can keep old games as legacy physics automatically but new ones use new physics

This combined with the rumors of sun setting r6 bodies makes the future grim

I feel like this could actually bring some interesting mechanics to obbies (if the legs work ofc)

the wall rubbing reminds me of speed run 4 when you walk against a wall

Roblox: breaking the laws of physics

3:24 bro made it to the null zone aka the glitch
